Check the spring is seated properly and then check the bushes at the top and bottom of the damper. Basically just grab your spring and try and move it, if it clangs about its the spring, if it doesnt move grab the damper and pull that to see how much it moves. They will both move a bit but shouldnt move loads or clang about. Check your exhaust aswel to see if it hits the bodywork anywhere.

If you leave a wheel bearing too long then the wheel can fall off.

By fall off I mean the stub axle will shear and you'll find yourself being overtaken by something previously attached to your car

I changed the rear wheel beating on my B on my own, cost somewhere around £25-£30 for the bearing iirc. Didn't take that long to change really.
